First day with Greece

Today in Western Civilization, we took our Egypt "quest" and I got another 100 on it. Mr. Schick's tests/quizzes seem to be really easy so far this year and they don't seem to be getting any harder. Maybe it's just me these tests almost seem too easy. But I like them. I actually haven't gotten lower than a 100 on any tests or quizzes. But anyways. What we did with Greece today is just read in the textbook again after we finished the test. This is what I read about:

.First formed Democracy
.Main Idea- Greece originated from Mycenaen, Minoan, and Dorian culture interactions
.Not a unified country- made of many City-States
.Very mountainous geography
.Peninsula
.Varied climate (49 degrees in winter- 80 degrees in summer)
.Mycenaens first settled mainland Greece c. 2000 B.C.
.Made up of migrants from Eurasia steppes, Europe, India, and Southwest Asia.
.Warrior-Kings ruled Mycenae


This is the end of my blog for today.

So, we went over the exact same thing we went over yesterday which is: .Egypt is split into Upper and Lower Egypt.  .The difference is the elevation, not north and south. .Upper Egypt is a mountainous area. It's also fertile and goes along the Nile. Lower Egypt is long, flat piece of the Nile Delta.  .The Delta empties into the Mediterranean Sea. .Upper and Lower Egypt were unified under one pharaoh named Narmer c. 3100 B.C. .The Egyptians believed in an afterlife (ka) and mummified the bodies of a dead person for their post-death journey. .Every soul had to justify itself.  .The soul was either sent to an after-world paradise or the mouth of a monster. .Ancient Egyptian writing formed c. 3100 B.C. and was called Hieroglyphics. .It was a mixture of both an older form ...
